Formula & Theory — Lying Flat / Slacking Calculator
The Lying Flat / Slacking Calculator uses a composite weighted formula:
RelaxRatio = (RestHours + HobbyHours) / TotalHours
WorkRatio = WorkHours / TotalHours
HobbyRatio = HobbyHours / (RestHours + HobbyHours)
StressInverse = (11 - StressLevel) / 10
LyingFlatIndex = (RelaxRatio × 0.40
+ (1 - WorkRatio) × 0.30
+ HobbyRatio × 0.15
+ StressInverse × 0.15) × 100| Variable | Meaning |
|---|---|
| RestHours | Daily unstructured rest hours |
| HobbyHours | Daily hobby / interest activity hours |
| WorkHours | Daily work or study hours |
| TotalHours | Sum of all three hour inputs |
| StressLevel | Self-reported stress rating (1-10) |
